ways, to remind her Of her pleasant
birthday party; but all the children
said that they couldn't possibly forget
the day, even if they tried, SO that they
would not need to keep the five-cent
pieces very long by way Of a souvenir.
Then group after group came up to
bid Grace good-by, and to thank her for
''the very best time ever had in all my
life, Miss Douglass" and, at last,
funny little cheer went up as the wagons
rolled away with their tired, but happy
freight.
''Well, Grace, think your thought
was a happy one. Has the day been a
success?" said the professor, smiling
down at her radiant face.
"Indeed it has! I mean to do it again
next year-this, or something like it.
Don't you think it's the best way to keep
birthdays, Uncle John9"
"To go on picnic?" said the profess
sor, laughing.
"No-not exactly; but to do something
to make somebody else glad that one is
in the world with birthday to keep.
And then, "she added, softly, 81
thought about something else, when
thou makest feast -
"Ah!" said the professor. $50 that
was where the Happy Thought came
in, was it9 Yes, Grace, it's the very
best way to keep birthday. May you
live to keep many and many a one.

body will always have cause to be glad
that you are in the world with birth

Virtues of Indian Corn,

Indian corn contains large amount OF
nitrogen, has anti-constipating qualities,
is easily assimilated, cheap and very nu-
tritive. A doctor of note declares that
a course of Indian meal, in the shape Of
Johnny cake, hoe cake, corn or pone
bread and mush, relieved by copious
draughts of pure cows milk, to which, if
inclined to dyspepsia, little lime water
may be added, will make life, now a
burden, well worth the living; and you

The Only Laughing Animal.

For my part, writes George Stewart,
l am convinced that, in every one of our
perceptions of the comic, humorous or
ridiculous, there is an ultimate element
which can no more be analysed or de-
fined by anything else than can our ideas
of truth or goodness. But however this
may be, it is abundantly evident that all
human laughter (other than that due to
the mere physical inhuences includes
distinct intellectual element. This is a
laughter in which no mere animal
shares. The anthropoid apes are by far
the most like man of all brutes, and

in the gardens of the Geological Society,
of London, and is remarkable
for the readiness and dexterity Sith
which she has learned to perform many
tricks. At my request experiments have
been made to see if she could be got to
give any evidence of a perception Of The
ludicrous. For this purpose her keeper
arrayed himself in various unusual and
brightly colored garments and went
through a number of absurd gestures;
Sally was evidently interested in his ap-
pearance and inspected him with care,
but, as evidently, did not realize the
humor of the situation. Indeed, her
keeper (who is an extremely intelligent
NAM assured me he has never detected
anything in her demeanor which he could
set down to perception of the ludi-
crous although she has very marked and
definite ways of expressing her feelings
of joy, anger or disappointment.

A NATIONAL CONGRESS.
The Sixth Annual Meeting OF the Great
Baptist Beard OF Discussion
Questions Upo
The Man Who is Reeripg Family Has a
Double Responsibility and Should
Have Double Vote.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, NOV. 1.-the
six III annual meeting OF the Baptist
National Congress began its session here
this afternoon. The congress is not an
official or business body, but was organ-
lied In order that current questions might
be discussed by its members. The fore
most men of the denomination participate
in the discussions. Two hundred
delegates are now present and
more are to come tomorrow. The
fist topic considered By the congress
was tThe Organic Union" Of Christen-
dom, and papers by Doctor G. d. Boar
man of Pnilsdelphis, and Doctor r S.
Macarthur Of New York, were read, while
addresses on the topic were made by
Doctor G. G Larimore of Chicago, and
Justice Burkley OF Alton, Ill. Ia the
afternoon "The Land Question" was
presented for discussion, the first speaker
being Hon. Allen Zollard, chief justice of
the Indiana Supreme Court. He was fol-
lowed By ex Senator james r. DOolittle
of Chicsgo, who, in the course OF
carefully prepared address said
that 10 revolutionary method should
be proposed, but the future growth Of
land monopoly shoufG be prevented by
law in the territory. Congress had the
power 10 do this, but in the states
amendments 10 the constitutions would
be necessary. Such amendments should
provide that once in every twenty years
the Legislature should first limit the
amount of agricultural land and the
amount Of land in villages and in cities
which eny one person could thereafter
take or acquire in aDy manner; this
amount to be determined by each
state for Itself. The speaker also favored
al amendment which besides eXempting
should within certain limits exempt home
steads and necessary furniture from tex
alton. He added that the state constitu
ton should provide that every house
holder who lives With and supports his
family in separate homestead
for such time es the
Legislature shall provide in addition
TO the one vote to which he now is en-
titled be granted an additional vote TO
represent his family. "Nothing," said
he, "csn be more certain than the man
who takes upon himself the responsibility
of founding and rearing family has e
dou3le responsibility compared with
single men a1d should have double
vote"
Following Mr.. Doolittle's address the
the question CT "profit sharing" WAS dis
cussad by Prof. Monrief of Frauklyn COL
lege and John D. Smith Of Minnesota.
The discussions are attracting large audi
ences and are arousing great interest.
The congress will continue Tomorrow
and Friday.

STRANGE REMEDIES.
Queer Cures for Various Diseases Prescribed
by supsrstitious English People.

Nineteenth Century.
The Northumorian cure for warts is to
take G. large snsil, rub the wart well with
it. and then impale the SNAIL OH q thorn
hedge. AS the creature wastes away
the warts will surely disappear. In the
west of England eeps blood serves the
same purpose.
At Loeb Carron, Ross-shire, On Gees
sionel cure for erysipelEs is to cut Of
half the car of 8 Cat and let the blood drip
on the infamed surface. La Cornwall the
treatment for the removal OF whelks
or small pfmples from tho eyeiids Of
children is to pass the tail of q black cat
nine times over the parts affected. Toads

in Cornwall and Northampton for the
cure OF nose-bleediDg and quiIsy, while
"tosd-powdeT," or even a live toad or

places accounted as useful as charm
against contagion as it was in the days Of
Sir X 'nelm Digby. The old small pox
and dropsy remedy, known as pulVis

than g powdered toad

is said that this practice has survived in

were almost bCoken-hesrted over her dis

He succeeded so well that he was or.

One dav, four years efter the disappear

the old Fear farm. Knocking ct the
door, the young man was asked his bust
ness by younger sister of Rosa. The
stranger smiled aud inquired If

The sister almost pulled the young
man into the house and warned him in

When his identity had been proclaimed
explanations were in or1er, and Rosa, or
Charles Fear as she was hencefOrtn to be
known, told remarkable story of physi-
cal change, which would better sdorn the
columns OF scientific journal than the
columns OF newspaper like the Globe.
It was story, however, which was per-
fectlY satisfactory to medical science, and
young Fear, who had been four years in
the Michigan lumber region, settled down
70 work on the farm.
For time he WAS al object Of curiosity
among those who had knoWn him rs q

Fear entered into business partnership

ENGLISH COTTON YARNS.
In England, yarns are spun chiefly for
sale, the spinning and the manufacturing,
as the weaving is called, are two distinct
branches Of the business and are
seldom carried on by the same
establishment The spinpers are chiefly
located in Eastern Lancashire, around
Oldham and Manchester, the great centers
of this industry for medium counts, the
fine counts being spun chiefly around
Bolton, while the weaving is carried on
in Western and Northern Lancashire, in
the vicinity of Blackburn and Burnley.
English yarns, both twist and welt (Warp
and filing are almost universally mule
spun. Oue reason for this is that
cop yarn can be transported with
so much greater facility. The spinner
packs his cops in large boxes and saves
the space which would be taken up by
quilts or bobbins, and saves also the
trouble and expense Of having them re-
turned. The dampenlGg cellar would not
have so sppreCiabIe an effect if The yarn
was on bobbins. All business connected
with manufacturing cotton into mar
ketable products is transacted, gen
orally speaking, on the floor OF
the Manchester R yal Exchange, claimed
to be the largest room in the world used
strictly for business purposes, and here
some day in the week, usually Tuesday
and Friday, is to be found representa-
tive Of almost every establishment en-
gagged in any department Of cotton manu-
featuring as well as from all maaufac-
tuners of Or dealers in machinery Or sup
plies ". S. Kelly in Industrial Racord.
